Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla


I am currently using an Ayon Cd2s, with its digital input as a DAC to play FLAC & Hi-rez files from my Laptop. Am contemplating an upgrade and options available to me are the Playback design MPD3 or the Skylla. Having owned Ayon players (Cd1s and Cd2s) for the past 3 years as my digital sources I am quite comfortable with upgrading blindly to the skylla, but with all the buzz around Playback designs, I am curious. Any thought?
Cheers,

Thank you Doggiehowser & Melbguy1. @Doggiehowser, I believe that the SkyllaII has an analog volume control, however I have a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe pre, so unless, in the unlikely event that the skylla beats the lamm in SQ, I will continue using the Lamm.
My CD listening has really tapered off, I am listening mostly FLAC's and WAV's off my computer. And as Melbguy1 rightly pointed out most of the files are PCM. I also have a Oppo BDP83 that is getting scanty use in my HT as even there I am using digital files of movies played back by my AC Ryan Media player. Plan to use that as a transport for ocassional CD playing and for the few SACD's I have.
Cheers,

Yes. The designer feels DSD2x sounds better and you design the analog section to only filter for DSD - simpler and sounds better.

You'll find that EMM Labs and now PS Audio are also on to the same thing.
